Le Relais des Moines Restaurant, Les Arcs sur Argens

The restaurant of Sébastien Sanjou is located directly next to the prestigious winery Château Sainte-Roseline with its pretty chapel and the mortal remains of Saint Roseline. The town nearest to the restaurant, Les Arcs sur Argens in the Departement of Var, seems to have been put there by the hand of a giant. A gourmet's heaven, its sits in the middle of nowhere. Sébastien's cuisine pays homage to the region. The dishes he creates are aesthetically and sensuously rich. Each menu is done to perfection, composed with the finesse of a musical masterpiece, each course a declaration of love for the unadulterated taste of nature. We started out with an aromatic gazpacho, followed by a variation of carrot, and took an ultra-tender veal fillet with stuffed onions and artichokes as our main course. We concluded the meal with a poached peach with verbena and champaign, accompanied by almond milk, which adds an exquisite touch to the dish. Each course is a fresh surprise and leaves a lasting impression. Closed on: Mondays and Tuesdays
Price range €€
We were impressed by Sébastien Sanjou's sophisticated creations and nearly as much by the value-for-money ratio of the lunch menu: We paid just €39.00 for a 3-course menu, including 2 glasses of wine, mineral water, and coffee.
Depending on which way the wind blows, traffic noise from the nearby highway can be a nuisance.
